Simone - Simone On Simone

May 8, 2008

I just want to tell you about an amazing singer who just so happens to be the daughter of the super duper legendary singer Nina Simone. Simone is her own woman, a singer, songwriter and performer whose ability to transcend genres echoes the tradition of her mother.

With the upcoming release of her first full-length album on High Priestess/KOCH Records, Simone On Simone (a big band tribute to her mother produced by famed jazz musician and arranger Bob Belden), music lovers worldwide will discover the vocal dynamism that live audiences have witnessed for over a decade. Fortunate to have gotten over fifty of her mother’s original arrangements, Simone began working with producer Bob Belden on the recording project, culling eleven songs from Nina Simone’s repertoire, including one live performance on which her mother accompanied her. Simone has gained notoriety from both her appearances in the National Touring Company of “Rent” and on Broadway in “Aida.”

I was listening to my Music station on Comcast and her song came on. I had to go back to see who was sing becuase the song was ringing all kind of bells in me. Then I saw who it was and screamed. I love her voice and will get her record as soon as it comes out. Amazing artist!!
